absurd list

I agree Bernie.  That's why I sent it.
If Rush and Tool are "Prog", why isn't Led Zepplin?

I'm sure we could all make a list of recordings that are missing from
the list.  Everyone has a different idea about what "prog" is.

Here's my bizarre brian dump:

Hackett and Gabriel solo material?  (Kind of proggy!)
10CC - How Dare You or Original Soundtrack?  (Quite progressive!)
Ultravox - Vienna?  (totally prog!)
Brian Eno - Before and After Science?  (beyond prog)
The Tubes - Remote Control?
ELO's Eldorado?
Early Bowie?
Todd Rundgren - Todd or A Wizard a True Star?

I could go on and on...

I think Clay has the correct take on matter. It would be a dull world if (in 
this case for example) we all agreed on the definition of progressive rock 
let alone the specific artists.
To each their own comes to mind. And I could go on and on too which drives 
home the point.

Dear All,
 
Gentle Giant had it right with the giant illuminated sign that flashed  
"prententious" behind them in giant letters at the correct part of the set  (during 
Knots if I remember correctly).
 
...and why are Garden Shed missing from 'the list'...
 
All the best,
Norm
